Answer:E none of the above

Explanation:

When a space shuttle orbiting around the earth then earth gravitational force keeps the shuttle in its orbit by providing centripetal force. Tangential velocity makes the shuttle to revolve around the earth. Earth gravitational pull is significant to make the shuttle move in orbit while the Passengers feel weightlessness because they are falling downward but never able to reach as they move fast enough such that earth curves away them.

Differences between plastic and metal​
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Differences are listed below:

Explanation:

Weight: Plastic can weigh appreciably much less than than metal.A plastic part weighs approximately one-sixth of the same part in steel.

Chemical resistance:Plastic are much less likely to suffer chemical attack and don not corrode.

Machinability: Plastic are much more easier to cut through than metal.

Product life: The life span for plastic is longer than of the metals in many applications.

Cost: The cost of plastic raw materials is appreciably less than of the metals.

Heat: Plastic are less heat resistive than metals.

Ultraviolet light can degrade the plastics soon.

Strength: Metal provides more strength than the plastic.

The rectangular plates in a parallel-plate capacitor are 0.063 m × 5.4 m. A distance of 3.5 × 10–5 m separates the plates. The p
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

capacitance of the capacitor = 0.18 μ  F

Explanation:

Area of the plate A = 0.063 m x 5.4 m = 0.3402 m²

distance between the plate d = 3.5 × 10–5 m

dielectric value for Teflon K = 2.1

capacitance of capacitor = ?

Formula for capacitance of parallel plate is as follows ,

C= \frac{K\epsilon_0 A}{d} (Where \epsilon_0 = 8.82 \times 10^-12\ \frac{F}{m} )

putting the values in the equation,

C = \frac{2.1\times8.82\times10^-12\times0.3402 }{3.5\times10^-5} =0.18\times 10^-6 =0.18 μ  F
